Titanium Folding Spork

The Toaks titanium folding spork is fantastic. I weighed it and mine came out to 17.3 grams, that is super lightweight, but don't let that weight scare you because it's made of titanium it is very strong. There have been a few bad reviews, but the reviewers simply do not know how to use it, the problem they were having is that spork fold up while using it. But if you look closely at the spork there is a band on the handle that has the word titanium written on it, that band moves up and down the handle, slide the band to the top of the handle the handle will move freely, then open the handle all the way then slide the band down to where the handle goes into the spork and push it till it's firmly in place, once that happens that handle will not fold up. But, don't forget to slide the band back away from the spork so it can fold easily or you will have a huge hassle folding it. This spork is perfect for backpacking, it's small and lightweight.

My favorite backpacking utensil. It's so light, but strong. Locks open OR closed very well with the sliding spreader bar built into the handle. It's long enough to reach down into deeper pots (Jetboils, Toaks 1100ml pot) and not get scalding hot food/liquid on your fingers. I also purchased the Toaks folding spoon for when I use coated pots that I don't want to scratch up with the spork tines. Folds up so small, it will fit in any cook set that I own. I love to pack light and compact, and this is the best option especially for the price point.

Nice compact utensil! Due to it's folding it fits well with my small lunch kit (400ml & 500ml cups/pots) and comes in handy in the EDC bag for takeout or when the fast food place runs out of plastic spoons. In the field for heating up a lunch on a day hike or walk in the park it works fine. Exercise caution however: Make sure the slider is as far down as you can get it. The dimples holding the handle extension are very small and without jamming the slider down as far as it will go the spoon will unfold during use. This would have been 5 stars but for that. A better design would have been to have the extension fold the other direction to avoid utensil collapse.

What I love about this spork is that it actually functions as a real spoon & fork. The design allows room for liquid products to sit nicely via the "dip" of the spoon. Some sporks I have used before were so flat or straight that it cannot pick up or hold any liquids. In addition the fork feature actually is sharp enough that it also holds noodles in tact instead of sliding off. Not to mention how easily it folds and keeps its form when tightened for use. A lightweight product that does what it should do. Everyone should have one whether they're a backpacker or not. A great alternative to single-use items and avoiding plastic.

I bring this spork to work everyday with my lunch, and it works whether I'm eating soup or salad. It's also so compact that I wash it and leave it in my lunch bag, so it's always there when I need it. Of course it's not as sturdy as a standard spoon or fork, but the portability and convenience definitely makes up for that. When I make purchases, I do my research and make sure that I'm not wasting my money. After looking at all the options, I believe this spork optimizes price and quality. I have only had it for a few months, but I use it every day and can safely assume that it will last a very long time. If and when it breaks or I lose it I will happily purchase this exact product again.

Used this on the JMT. Overall it worked fine but I do have 3 gripes if you're rehydrating food out of bags: 1. When stirring food in a bag, the spoon handle would sometimes unlock and fold up. This would happen even if I slid the locking bar very tight. In general it worked fine for your basic oatmeals and eating though. 2. I really like how small it is, but a long spoon is really what you need if you're rehydrating food in a bag. Otherwise you just get your hand dirty while stirring and serving out of the bag. 3. This is minor, but food bits do get caught up in the joints and take extra washing (or licking).

I originally purchased this spork because I bring my own packed lunches to work and was generally displeased with the sharp, plastic cutlery offered at my workplace. Also, as I was looking for ways to reduce needless plastic consumption carrying along this little spork seemed like a good idea vs bringing my heavier cutlery from home. So far I'm definitely pleased! I can see this item having great applicability for camping, backpacking, cycling or anywhere where weight or space-saving is a concern. It's so small and light when folded that I leave it in my bag all the time which is really a convenient because then I don't forget it at home. Functionally, it works for 99% of the foods I eat or take with me for lunch (from soups to curries, pastas, vegetables, salads, pretty much anything where you could envision needing either a fork or spoon). Happy customer!

Spoon surface is very ample, great for soups and stews. Handle is sturdy, and the end can be removed without damage for those trekkers wanting to reduce fractions of ounces from their pack. Came in an orange ripstop nylon bag w. toggle drawstring. Very lightweight and good quality. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the fork prongs on the tip being almost useless. They are too short, and the tips are squared, so any food needing to be speared, you are out of luck there. Overall I am happy with the product as I will use it for my spoon, glad I ordered it, but will need to take another small fork with sharp tines on it to actually have a functional fork portion. They should have simply made this a spoon, and offered a separate, real fork of similar design and quality.

Love it

En camping, en viaje deportivo esta cuchara muy util, se lava facilmente, el sistema de pliegue parece solido y bien pensado. Un must to have.

Light weight

This is an amazing lightweight spoon to take for a backpacking or bikepacking where the weight matters. the only thing you should consider, if you are going to eat freeze dried food from the package, this spoon is short, in this case better buy long titanium spork, this brand also has them.

works well and gets through carry-on bag checks
